What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[DelOro]

Tea is brewing & I'm already enjoying sore throat Saturday!

Have a fantastic weekend.

A very good day for a "King of the Hill" marathon, besides it's supposed to rain (monsoon) today.

I got a new stockman today, a Boker shadow pattern with toothpick and tweezers like an SAK. Nice bone, too.
I sharpened it up and will carry it for a couple days.

That’s awesome. I’ve never seen one quite like that before. A really good looking piece there.

Toting these up to a show today. Maybe sell a couple:

Beautiful Dave as always. Is the yellow Osage?

Lambsfoot of the Week is a rosewood model I call Union Jack:

Wonderful composition GT. Really crisp grain shot.

Stunning pic Dwight

Thank you Jack.

For today i'll carry a flashy coffin jack with a conservative Camillus Scout from the late 40's

That Camillus is super-sweet!!!!! Remarkably good condition for its age.

 

[Buzzbait]

I carry my Beer scouts using this lanyard I like the way the knife stays upright and to the side of the pocket, which makes more room for other items. Does anyone else use the bail?

I use the bail every time. I attach mine to a lanyard, and suspend it into my rear pocket.

 

[Onebigbill]

Yard work today calls for something that versatile and tough. Like me! Ha!

 

[black mamba]

black mamba That’s a real neat shadow stockman!

That’s awesome. I’ve never seen one quite like that before. A really good looking piece there.

Thanks, fellas, I think they must be fairly rare, I've never seen one before, either.

Great shot of your Union Jack GT

Thanks, Jack.

Boker Stockman today. I really like the stockman and see a few more in the future.

Cool background with coloration that complements the tortoiseshell!

5K Qs Thank you GT. If quitting smoking cigars was your goal, Then I say. Congratulations!...

Thanks, Harvey.

Today I’m carrying a Canoe and a small Copperlock. Have a great weekend!

It's just too good to be true,
Can't take my eyes off your canoe!

Thanks GT! Yeah bigger by A LOT , it will be used almost exclusively for hunting in the fall, I just couldn't wait a few months to try it though. Beautiful Rosewood
...

Thanks for the size confirmation on your Buck, Tom, and for your compliment regarding Union Jack.

...
Thank you, Gary. Is your lovely lambsfoot called a Union Jack because you are in union with Jack Black on how great Lambsfoot knives are?

That COULD be the genesis of the name, but it's not. My wife and daughter visited the UK a few years ago, and at my request, they found a rosewood lambsfoot for me in York. When I first saw it in person, I was struck by the "horizontal" grain on one side and "diagonal" grain on the other, and that led me to the superimposed crosses of various types on the British flag aka Union Jack. So "union" is more related to family ties, and "jack" to jackknife, and "Union Jack" together to the grain on my knife, as well as its national origin.

Started the day off with my Lambsfoot and my big #43... switched to these two later in the day. About as perfect of a carry as you can imagine!

Love that GEC #170, Taylor! (you do the model number math )

I got a new stockman today, a Boker shadow pattern with toothpick and tweezers like an SAK. Nice bone, too.
I sharpened it up and will carry it for a couple days.

Congrats, Jeff! That's unusual and interesting.

...
You're carrying a couple great picks today! Your "Union Jack" look very stout!

Thanks, JJ.

For today i'll carry a flashy coffin jack with a conservative Camillus Scout from the late 40's

Striking pair! Not sure I like glitter gold on a coffin jack, though!?!

The only thing better than one Lambsfoot is two! Y’all have a great day!

Outstanding pair of knives, Ron!

The only problem with that is that I already have a 119.
I’m trying to convince myself that I need another Buck!

Truth be told, the little Woodsman is the most useful size.

Been there, done that, Jeff!

It’s quite nice out on the deck right now, gonna heat up, though.
Best wishes to our porch members (@SVTFreak )
down on the Gulf...stay dry!View attachment 1160584Schrades for Schradurday, a 175, and an 881Y.

Summer's here (and the time is right for dancing in the streets! )

Heading to the Bay Area again today.
Only one knife today, so it's my trusty Lamb of course.
The Lambsfoot will spend most of the day locked in the car.

Have a safe and enjoyable trip, John! Good to see your faithful rosewood lambsfoot.

Tea is brewing & I'm already enjoying sore throat Saturday!

Hope the sore throat doesn't stick around, Del; enjoy the marathon!

Thanks, Dwight; I modified the "exposure" and "color" a bit after taking the pic.
That's a superb French knife!

Sublime stag on your Hartshead lambsfoot Barlow, and I like that faithful old straw hat!

Couple of "free choice" knives for me this week in addition to the knives assigned by my rotation schedule.

GT- Thanks for your comments especially about the hat. Bought it in Houston 40 years ago. Sin has left it sad scar.

 

[Peregrin]

Most days a pair like this is more than enough for my EDC needs.
The knives aren't really small. The leaf is really big.

 

[black mamba]

Thanks, Gary!

Have a safe and enjoyable trip, John! Good to see your faithful rosewood lambsfoot.

Thank you, GT.

A very special knife.
A canoe, Your vacation spot, and Rachel's art. A mighty combination.

I sharpened it up and will carry it for a couple days.

Thanks, Paul, it was the first one I'd ever seen. It came in a silver two-piece box with Tree Brand Classic on it, and pattern 6066 ZP. I think it's probably from the 1980s to early '90s, but not positive. Any Boker experts, please help!

That's a very cool Boker, thanks for the info. I now have another knife on my 'watch for' list.

Summer's here (and the time is right for dancing in the streets! )

I save my street dancing for winter time. Summer is too hot for that around here.
I'm happy to see you're carrying the canoe Canoe. Let me know how the ink holds up. I've been using 'India ink" since that's what I've read recommended, but I'm experimenting with making my own 'lamp-black' (a good, indoor summertime project)

 

[black mamba]

Always happy to enable, r8shell!

 

[Fire Beard]

That canoe you've got there is a real beauty, I may have to add one to my list.

Thank you, sir. I do believe that the Canoe is my favorite pattern. Such a nice, comfortable carry and I’m a sucker for spear blades. You won’t regret trying one out! If only I could find a GEC 16...I’d be a happy man.

Thanks, Jack.

Thank you, and your Canoe is also a real beauty! That custom scrimshaw work is really clean and looks fantastic. Been thinking of trying out one of those RR Canoes myself, they look great.

Thank you for your extensive answer to my question, Gary. r8shell has a gift for scrimshaw; and you have been the beneficiary of some beautiful examples!

Well, you can never have too many!
